Personal & professional philosophy:
I have always found great solace in everything creative, but primarily I work as an actress, a visual artist and an art teacher. Acting has been endlessly inspiring. Each and every project invites the opportunity to learn about humanity in a refreshing way.

What is the highlight of your work?
The process of rehearsing, exploring, and refining through collaboration. The research. The collaboration!

Future goals:
Personal career goal: To forever be able to create and share stories with a large platform whether it be through painting, film, theatre or through teaching. I want to keep growing and learning.

Personal & professional philosophy:
I believe in taking “time outs” in regard to the hustle and bustle of life. Make time for yourself and do things that make you connect to the world around you; hiking, meditation, walking, etc… I love impacting people with my words and expressing my experiences.

Upcoming performances/ project:
In addition to my acting projects, I also act as an ambassador for brands I really believe in for health and wellness.

What is the highlight of your work?
As a part of my work in health and wellness I am an ambassador for Jumpin Johnny’s hot sauce, Gojoy Berries, and Frozen Coconut Yogurt. This year, I have completed a niche for the Hallmark channel and I also have a movie playing on the Lifetime network called, “Woman on the Run.” I’m a grateful woman to be able to portray a myriad of characters and emotions to tell their story.

Personal & professional philosophy:
I’m not sure that I really have one. I aim to make movies that I want to watch. I try to give 100% to whatever I’m working on.

Upcoming performances/ project:
I just finished directing Send Us Smokes, a Hot Shot Shorts film, which follows the story of 7-year-old Adelaide as she embarks on a fantastical adventure to take cigarettes to her father serving in the trenches of WWI.

What is the highlight of your work?
I got to make a WWI musical this year! Despite all the challenges, like working with a child actor and a dog on a film set in a trench, Send Us Smokes has been a real career highlight for me. It was a pleasure to work with such an amazing cast and crew and to find creative solutions together. I couldn’t have asked for a better bunch of people!

Occupation and/or Company: I work as an Art Department Coordinator or Assistant for IATSE 891 and ACFC, the film unions in Vancouver.

Personal & professional philosophy:
My personal philosophy in life is to enjoy what you do. I’m not much of a risk-taker, but the unstable and spontaneous nature of film really intrigued me. And the people, I love the people I work with. Everyone is so different and diverse. I like to take it day-by-day and focus on what makes me happy.

Upcoming performances/ project:
At the moment I’m working on a feature film called “Game Over, Man” and looking forward to the release of “Send Us Smokes”, which is currently in post-production.

What is the highlight of your work?
The highlight of my work so far was working on the independent film “Send Us Smokes” with Director Michelle Kee. As the film’s Production Designer, I had the opportunity to create my first ever period piece. With a tight budget, hard deadlines and a small but dedicated team, we worked around the clock to build the trench and many of the props and set pieces from scratch. The experience was incredibly rewarding.

What is the highlight of your work?
Starting my own theatre company in 2012.

I love telling a good story. And if I can find the heart of a good story, hard work doesn’t feel like work. It’s fun and even thrilling. I also believe in kindness and love; It’s those things that connect people to one another. They are a deep motivation for me to do good work, connect with others and be the best actor and person I can possibly be.

Upcoming performances/project

I’m currently in a theatre production called “Corleone” at Pacific Theatre. It’s a play based on the Godfather and written in iambic pentamer; Shakespeare meets Francis Ford Coppola. It also features an all female cast which I’m very excited to be part of.

What is the highlight of your work?

I was interested in working with Classic Chic because I wanted the experience of working closely with a large group of women who wanted to do good work and work well together. It’s been exactly that. I’ve had a lot of fun, I’m proud of the work everyone has done and I feel very supported.
